(RESCUE DOGS) After Hurricane Sandy devastated the Northeast U.S., hundreds—if not thousands—of pets remain homeless and in need of assistance. Fortunately, rescue organizations are working tirelessly to provide care for these helpless animals and, hopefully, reunite them with their guardians. And while many dogs are still in need of help, other dogs are actually doing some of the helping. Search and rescue teams along with their four-legged companions arrived in Staten Island, New York, and New Jersey to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. See the photos below and donate to animal rescue organizations working on the ground in the tri-state region. — Global Animal
